Setup
1. Charging the Collar
Before first use, fully charge the collar receiver. The collar takes approximately 2 to 3 hours to fully charge and can last for about 15 days on a single charge.
- Locate the magnetic charging port on the collar receiver.
- Connect a compatible NVK magnetic charging cable (not included) to the port.
- Plug the USB end of the cable into a USB power adapter (e.g., phone charger, computer USB port).
- The indicator light will show charging status (e.g., red for charging, green for fully charged).
The collar features an IPX7 waterproof rating and a magnetic charging port for double waterproof protection.
2. Fitting the Collar
Proper fit is essential for the collar's effectiveness and your dog's comfort and safety. This collar is suitable for dogs weighing 10 to 110 lbs, with neck girths from 0 to 26 inches.
- Place the collar on your dog's neck, ensuring the receiver unit is positioned centrally under the chin or on the side of the neck.
- Adjust the strap so that the contact points are making direct contact with your dog's skin.
- You should be able to fit one finger snugly between the collar strap and your dog's neck. A fit that is too loose will prevent consistent contact and effectiveness, while a fit that is too tight can cause discomfort or skin irritation.
- If the strap is too long, you may trim it. If trimming, carefully singe the cut end with a lighter to prevent fraying.

Operating Instructions
This NVK Dog Training Collar receiver is designed to be controlled by a compatible NVK remote control (not included). The collar supports three training modes: Beep, Vibration, and Static Shock.
Overview of the three training modes: Beep, Vibration, and Static Shock.
Pairing (if necessary)
If your collar is not responding to your NVK remote, it may need to be paired. Refer to your NVK remote control's manual for specific pairing instructions. Generally, this involves putting the collar into pairing mode (often by holding a button on the collar) and then activating pairing on the remote.
Training Modes
- Beep Mode: Emits an audible tone. This is often used as a warning or a positive reinforcement signal.
- Vibration Mode: Delivers a non-harmful vibration. This mode has 1-9 adjustable levels, allowing you to find the appropriate intensity for your dog.
- Static Shock Mode: Delivers a static correction. This mode has 0-99 adjustable levels. Start at the lowest level and gradually increase until your dog responds. Use this mode responsibly and only when necessary.
The specific buttons and procedures for activating these modes and adjusting levels will be on your NVK remote control.

Training Tips
Effective training requires consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement. The training collar is a tool to aid in communication, not a substitute for proper training methods.
- Start with Beep/Vibration: Always begin with the least intrusive modes (beep or low-level vibration) before resorting to static correction.
- Timing is Key: Deliver the correction immediately when your dog exhibits the unwanted behavior.
- Consistency: Use the collar consistently for specific behaviors you want to correct.
- Positive Reinforcement: Always reward desired behaviors with praise, treats, or toys.
- Short Sessions: Keep training sessions short and positive to maintain your dog's engagement.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the collar receiver and strap with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals.
- Contact Points: Regularly check the contact points for dirt or debris and clean them to ensure proper function.
- Storage: Store the collar in a cool, dry place when not in use.
- Battery Life: Recharge the collar when the battery indicator is low. The collar features a 7-hour auto-off protection to conserve battery.
The collar automatically turns off after 7 hours of inactivity to save battery.
The collar offers extended battery life, reducing the need for frequent recharging.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Collar not responding to remote. | Not paired; out of range; low battery on collar or remote. | Ensure collar is charged and powered on. Re-pair the collar with the remote (refer to remote manual). Move closer to the collar. Charge both devices. |
| No static correction. | Poor contact with skin; level too low; contact points dirty. | Adjust collar fit to ensure good contact. Increase static level on remote. Clean contact points. Ensure silicone caps are properly seated or removed if longer contact is needed for thick-coated dogs. |
| Collar not charging. | Charging cable not connected properly; faulty cable/adapter; dirty charging port. | Ensure magnetic cable is securely attached. Try a different USB adapter or port. Clean the magnetic charging port. |
| Skin irritation on dog's neck. | Collar too tight; worn for too long; contact points rubbing. | Loosen collar slightly. Do not leave collar on for more than 12 hours. Reposition collar periodically. Discontinue use until skin heals. Consult a vet if irritation persists. |
